Before exploring specific healing scriptures for different ailments, we must first establish the foundational truth: God is our healer. Throughout Scripture, the Lord reveals Himself as Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. These foundational verses establish God's character as our healer and His covenant promises to restore health to His people.
The scriptures form the bedrock of our faith in divine healing, showing us that healing is not just God's ability, but His very nature and His desire for His children.
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
"If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee."
